JJ vs 64s is the "big pair against live cards" spot: JJ wins 79.3%, 64s wins 20.2%, and 0.4% of boards chop. Even at a 3.9-to-1 deficit, 64s keeps about 20.2% because suited connectors attack three ways at once — pairing either card, completing a straight, or filling the flush.
Here's the intuition behind 79.6% to 20.4%: JJ wins roughly 4 of every 5 times the chips go in, but the underdog cashing 20.4% of the time is exactly why you can't slow-play and let it draw for free.
JJ should play this fast and deny equity: every free card helps 64s more than it helps you. If you're the one with the suited connectors, lean on implied odds and fold equity rather than the raw 20.2% — the hand's value is in the pots you take away postflop, not in flipping all-in preflop.
